Reeve appears...



"Riddle me this, riddle me that... I'm teamed with Maverick, facing two dirty rats. We'll stomp you down, into the mat..." Reeve smirks-- "How about that?"

Reeve's smirk washes away, as he stands upon a monestary, peering over the roof at the city below. He carries his trusty black baseball bat, thinking of his upcoming match.

"McBride, Green... you two are brand names here in the XWF... but that means NOTHING in the long run. The both of you have seen better days, though I can say the same for myself. I've never lived up to my full potential, but these past few months have been worse than ever. I'm never going to walk away, I'm NEVER going to call it quits, no matter how bad the times are. When everyone else gives up, I will continue to climb, I will remember-- you're never a loser till you surrender. Barney, you and I have history my friend. If you remember a little federation named WWG, I've got a tale to tell.

"You were a multiple time champ, but you came to a point in your career where you kept losing, and you lost the passion you once had. You didn't have the heart to put in the same amount of effort you once did. Well, the same has been happening to you here in the XWF, and it's been happening for the past few years. Peter Gilmour STILL has your number. As far as lost passion goes, I feel ya man. After the losses I've picked up, it's difficult to keep going... but I do. And I'll tell ya bud, there's a spot in the Reevolution for anyone who's become disenfranchised and wants to see change... Both in themselves, and in this company. But till then?... you've got a target on your back, Barn, and I've got a sniple rifle with your name on it.

"Michael, you're an icon of sorts here in the Realm of Xtreme. You've racked up a few key victories... and I remember when I first returned back in 2014, you had a few choice words for me. You attempted to put me in my place when I first showed my face again, and I haven't forgotten. I wouldn't mind putting you in your place, trust me. I honestly wish Snow could have teamed with me instead of Mav, but I believe in the kid, and I believe he can help take you down, McBride. He reminds me a lot of a man that took down my partner [Kid Kool] ... A man named Joshua. So, it'll be a bit difficult to put that out of my mind...

"...But for the sake of the Reevolution, I will."

Reeve crouches down beside the edge of the roof... He peers over, gazing at the cars below. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a letter....

"Snow wrote me something over the past week, and I want the two of you to listen--"

' Dear Cuz,

I feel like the two of us and Kid Kool are on the verge of a breakthrough, ready tah dig ourselves up from the dirt and polish off our names. We all three once had a meaning to our careers, people gave a damn about us... but somewhere along the line, we fucked up. But we're not done, no sir, we've got every tool in the shed it takes tah carve out our destinies, and that day is comin' fast. We don't need to worry, Reeve... all we gotta do is put in work, and kick ass. Tell Barney and Michael that I'd love tah kick BOTH their asses, just tah give them a second dose of Gordon Power!! XD Reeve... love ya, hun. Blessed be. <3 '

Reeve folds up the note and pockets it. He stands tall and glares at the city, before turning away... Reeve's face swiftly switches into a smile... finding singing sensation Demi Lovato gazing at him.

Demi: I got your call on my answering machine, something about wanting to collab?

Reeve: Demi... I'm a HUGE fan, and so is my girlfriend--

Demi feels a tapping on her shoulder, turning around to find Chastity. She smiles reassuredly before speaking...

Chas: Demi, you are my FAVORITE Disnsey star of ALL time... and I LOVE your music. I have an idea for you...

Chas steps to the side and Kid Kool walks through the door, holding out a t-shirt, he himself wearing the tee, modeling the merchandise...



Kid Kool grins and Demi looks a bit worried..... till a smile appears. "I'd LOVE to be a part of The Reevolution!! I haven't really been doing anything of note for a while... Can I sing your entrance theme?!"

Reeve: No.

Demi: LET'S RAWK AND ROLL!!!

Reeve, Demi, Chastity and Kid Kool head off as the camera cuts...

- - - - -

...The camera returns, this time at an In-and-Out Burger, where KK, Christina Nash, Chastity, Demi Lovato, Reeve, Snow and her girlfriend Rebecca all sit around a table chowing down.

Snow: "We're all in this together"... you know, I like that song, We Can't Back Down... Demi, yer a great singer. Can we use that as our theme?

Reeve: No.

Snow: Well, hell with ya!! Chastity, you know she's got the chops, don'tcha?

Chastity: Yeah, but I play Demi's tracks all the time, Reevie gets tired of 'em. But, he thought Demi would make a great manager... He showed me film from a couple years ago where he hired Holly J from Degrassi as an agent for his original Reevolution. She brings the fire, don'tcha Demi, we need someone to raise our spirits, lead us into battle, and give us the heat to win the war!!

Demi: Thank you, Chas, you're beautiful!

Rebecca: You ARE a shining star, Demi... I've honestly had a crush on you ever since you were on Sonny with a Chance. Thank you for being a part of us!

Snow: I gotta be honest, I always had the hots fer Selena, but you ain't half bad yerself!

Demi: Awww, appreciate it! I intend to do like Chas said and bring this team up from the rubble and help lead the Reevolution to the TOP!!

Kid Kool: Well, I know you like to party... maybe a bit too much, but fuck it, yer cool.

Nash: HELL YEA!! Wanna snort cocaine out of a pig's carcass??

Demi: ...........No?

Nash: TEQUILA!!!

KK: LET'S RAWK AND ROLL!!

Demi: ... I miss Ophelia...

"Truer words were never spoken... We ARE all in this together. The stars, the management, the fans, everyone that makes the XWF something special. We're neglecting the things that made this place so great... we're worried more about petty jabs and toilet humor, when we should be telling amazing stories, working together to create the battles that live forever in the back of our minds. There's something wrong with the XWF... a poison, a cancer, an illness that saps away at us, ALL of us....

"On the other hand, there's people like Havoc, Thomas Nixon, Jim Cadaeus, Dolly Waters, Isabella Ravenwolf... men and women who still bring desire to the roster. But there are people who make a mockery out of the company I love. The Reevolution is here to rid us of them... We are with you. Those of you who've proven themselves in the battleground. The more we work together, the more we reach the day where things are as beautiful as they once were. Once upon a time, the XWF was abloom with magic... but that forest was burnt to the ground. We rise. We Rise. WE RISE... and we rebuild.

"Music drives me. Music gives me the fuel I need to step into the ring and try my damndest. That's why I brought in a singer, Demi Lovato, to manage The Reevolution. Her song, "We Can't Back Down" embodies who we are and what we're about. Together, we can make a change, together? We ARE change. We are a force to be reckoned with, yes we've fallen a few times, but we rise. And we rise together, ready to prove the world wrong.

"The XWF is my home, and I will NOT allow a group of talentless hacks to bring it down when I'm only just about to succeed. These are the days I've been waiting for, these are the days I've been working toward. The fans are ready for a new era, a new horizon. Michael McBride... I know your name, I know you take yourself as a mafioso extraordinairre, I know you think you're a walking, talking lethal weapon. But I have your number, as do I Green's. The two of you are stepping into the Lion's Den...

"... And I have my teeth sharpened, ready to sink into your throats, bleeding you dry, and tossing you aside. This is where my career truly begins, and where The Reevolution begins its journey to save the XWF from itself. Men like Chris Chaos prove that this company is far from dead... but when you have a Chairman like Loverboy? You KNOW you need a ratchet to tune things up a bit. The ship has hit an iceberg, the boat is sinking... but there's still some hope in it yet.

"Believe... or Be Left Behind. In the words of Mister Magorium... life's an occasion..."
